BlueOptics QSFP-100G-AOC-15M-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 15m Male/Male

The BlueOptics QSFP-100G-AOC-15M-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable is a 15‑metre active optical cable with QSFP28 male connectors on both ends. Designed for 100GBASE‑SR4 applications, this AOC provides multimode fibre transmission with integrated transmitter and receiver modules, enabling up to 100 Gbit/s data throughput over a 15 m link. The cable follows MSA (Multi‑Source Agreement) mechanical and electrical specifications and is compatible with hardware platforms that support QSFP28 AOCs.

Advantages

This BlueOptics AOC combines native QSFP28 form‑factor compatibility with active optical components to deliver low latency, immunity to electromagnetic interference and stable high‑speed links. Built with industry‑grade lasers and integrated circuits, the cable supports digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM/DOM) and is tested for interoperability with major networking platforms. The pre‑assembled design removes the need for field splicing or patch cord cleaning and reduces insertion loss compared with patch‑based multimode links.

How to use

Install the BlueOptics QSFP‑100G‑AOC‑15M‑BO by plugging each QSFP28 male connector into compatible QSFP28 ports on switches, routers or servers while the devices are powered according to the vendor guidelines. Verify that the receiving hardware supports active optical QSFP28 AOCs and, if required, enable DDM/DOM monitoring on the host device to read diagnostic parameters. No additional transceivers, patch cords or splicing are required—simply route the pre‑assembled cable to avoid sharp bends and secure it to prevent strain on connectors.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, avoid tight bending radii and excessive cable tension; follow the host vendor’s port handling and insertion procedures. Confirm software/firmware compatibility with QSFP28 AOCs in your network equipment before deployment. Use the DDM/DOM diagnostics for proactive monitoring of temperature, supply voltage, laser bias current and optical power levels.
